Then the job is to wrap up Student Teaching by January 22.

Ergon Caps 2010 / EXPO Juniors Perform
Not so sorry to say, but anything and everything that Ergon has ever put out has worked like a dream. Let's all drool...
The team put forth for the WORS team competition was 100% comprised of EXPO Juniors. I couldn't be more proud of them this year. In the Mid-sized Team Division they were able to take a 2nd place in the points competition and a 1st place in the participation competition. Just another payoff for all the hard work you all put in on the Monday - Friday. Of course the Rents too!Sunday, October 4, 2009

Crazy Casey @ Blue Mound
Hildebrandt FamilyLets start off with....that course is rough...real rough. It was a nice start. Didn't want to run as fast as I could because Carlos and Glenn were there and are way faster than me. Didn't wanna slow them up and got into 5th or so. Carlos didn't get told which way to go and hopped on the 6 and 12 hour course. Caught me half way through that lap and got away in singletrack. Caught him on the long flats before the end of the lap. Got in front of him before the lap and he caught me back halfway through that lap again. Never saw him again (he is nuts... I swear this guy has no fear. he is jumping rocks and popping his back tire up over stuff like nothing, not to mention he is carving through this stuff like butter) Was running third then at the start of the 3rd lap and got a gel from Sandi. Was eating it and couldn't finish it before the wicked downhill so it was in my mouth. Tried eating it with one hand on the bar and wiped out on a sharp rock. Now it looks like I have a egg coming out of my leg and my arm and hip are sore as well. Matt Gissibl caught me after an early flat for him. We rode together for a little bit and I let him by. Then on the flats again I caught him again. Right on his wheel as now we could see dad. Then less than a minute later....flatted. Ran about 50 yards to the open and changed it. It was about 8 minutes or so before the next 3 hour guy came through. Went as hard as I could with the energy I had left. Felt like a pretty fast lap. Caught fellow EXPO teammate John on the last hill and past him about 1/4 mile before the finish.. Finished strong. Another good race...hopefully this keeps going. A solid 5th. Dad had a 16 minute lead in the 6 hour race...and went out to do another lap. Only guy with 6 laps in the 6 hour. Pretty sick trophy for him. Bad luck for Myles in his race (this kid was only 3 minutes back of him and had one of the top lap times in the 6 hour). Thanks to the Steve and company for support.

Myles and Casey - Props on tackling Blue Mounds. That course is known by all to be as tough as you just realized.
Today is UWM day with brother Alex. Set up a Gmail for him to forward his UWM emails to. Get to know the computer system UWM forces, and start to look up required texts. Best part of all, he is letting me ride his Trek Multitrack 720 for the day!

bike-run-eat-repeat @ Blue Mound
Myles Beach has entered the blog-o-sphere. He currently resides in the customization/photo phase, so bare with him. Take a looksie at his race report from his fist 6hr Solo attempt in the 12 Hours of Blue Mound this past Saturday. Click the pic to venture to his neck of the woods.
"Yesterday, I tried my first 6 hour solo race. I probably could have picked a better..."

Kettle Ride Report
Please notice the "Skidmark" sighting on the left sidebar. Click-it and you will see a little write-up tossed in with a couple pics of our ride at John Muir/Connector/Emma yesterday (Not to mention much press coverage of "The Boy" ^above^ - Nate.). Good times. Two flats in my group had us thinking safety > Bail on the connector and get closer to the pit. Which worked out for the better. I managed to finish the ride and have a clean hamstring day. If every day can give me good news, then I'm sure to get back in the mix soon.

Casey Casey - On the Box - Trek Border Battle
I had a good start as I went up the hill and got into the jam in the singletrack. Dad was 4 or 5 bikes infront of me. Nate was behind him, then me with mitch right behind, and caleb and myles 5 or so behind us. We were talking in the singletrack. After it cleared out a little i was just chasing nate. We caught him on the 2nd field part and passed him. Me, Mitch, then Nate with eachother and they were looking strong. We rode that group till the end of the first lap. On the hill they dropped off i think. A little into the 2nd lap Jenna Reinhart was in the back of our group of a few expert guys. I let her pass me right before the last part of singletrack for that lap and followed her lines closely. Was right on her wheel up the hill and into the singletrack she got away. After both laps when I got to the top of the hill I could hear Don saying "here come Caleb Lenss and Myles Beach coming through." I started thinking of where I was during the last lap and just keep riding faster. I was pumped coming out of the woods and sprinted all the way through the finish. First podium ever. Must of been the ergon socks. Went for cool down with Caleb and then dad after he was done. It was a much more enjoyable ride home than normal.

Clif Quench
EXPO Rider Jeff Frings aka BikeSafer, decided to leave me with two whitey tighty boxes after his stellar finish at the WORS Alterra Coffee Bean Classic. I have to admit that they sat uncovered in our kitchen until just a few days ago... Wierd eh? Once I opened the beauties my eyes lit up. Clif Gatorade?!?!?! YES! These beauties of "Non-Adhesive Labels" are 100% recyclable. After drinking of course. I am quite excited to possibly kick Gatorade off of its throne and out of my water bottles.
Taste test is sure to come once I gather up all of its competitors (including Kwik-Ade). YouTube in the nearest of futuristic days...

EXPO Racing takes 3rd Overall at 24-9
Pic from goat.What true superb effort put out by the EXPO Racing juniors. The team con Cameron Chambers (-CC-) and the WORS veterans were the only teams to top them. It was such a battle and truly a "race" for 2nd - 4th place overall (check out how the race played out here)
They were rock solid all night long. Consistent for 24:30:00. The biggest of thanks goes out to Scott Cole for lending Myles his StumpJumper 29er and helmet light. The entire EXPO pit crew for keeping our racers fed, hydrated, prepped and motivated. The Lenss crew for creating a "Red Bud" like atmosphere all race long, and everyone else for press'n EXPO on.
Ergon was awesome(three of four were rigid) and the Endura kits kept the boys comfortable. Clif fed them out on course and Jeremey's Burger Haus filled them in the pits. Oakley kept the trail view clean. Please click the sidebar links for product info and more 24-9 stories... there will be alot more to come.
You truly had to be there to see it. EXPO Juniors really showed that the sport of endurance racing is just waiting for a junior movement.
Please check out the Mountaingoat for many more links as well as pics!

Days 5.1 and 6.1
I knew we would get at least one on the box. Riley made it happen for us.
The rest are a few images from our G10. Tons of pics from the SLR once I get home and unwind.
Watch twitter(Left side bar) for updates and weird words from our final leg home.
It was so painful exiting the mountains.
